World of Warcraft offers a massive amount of sets and different armors, some
good for some classes and bad for others based on the stat. Just because it's
cloth doesn't necessarily make it good, as there are some stats a Warlock tend
to stay away from because it won't help them much.

The most important stats for a Warlock, is arguably in order:
-Spell Damage
-Stamina
-Crit Rating / Intellect

More than anything, a Warlock wants more damage. More damage affects everything
from Shadow Bolt to Drain Life and makes the Warlock kill faster for less mana.

After that, Stamina is an extremely popular stat, and while the old Warlock 
armor never focused on it, all new Warlock armor will usually have a great deal
of Stamina. Stamina is the bread and butter for a Warlock, as it means more
health, and more Lifetaps without reaching critical health levels. 

If you are Affliction, then Intellect will appeal to you more than +% Crit, as
you won't be using that much nukes compared to what a Demonologist or
Destruction Lock will, but you're rather focused on having plenty of mana to
prevent you from running out. One of the strengths of an Affliction lock is
the uptime, by playing smart and conserving mana and keeping your health on 
top all the time.

For a Destruction or Demonologist Lock, then Crit might be more appealing, as
they rather tend to focus on high damage and taking down mobs quickly. 
Destruction builds are only really superior once they reach a very high amount
of crit, as that means Ruin and Improved Shadow Bolt will be put to good use, 
both which rely solely on Crit. When both are activated, I.E a target is 
affected by Improved Shadow Bolt and you crit on it when having Ruin, the 
damage will be massive. Those bursts are what % Crit is for. Crits have less
usage for a pure Affliction build since they'll be using Damage over Time and
not rely on their crits to do the damage.

Compare the oldest Warlock set in the game, the Dreadmist to a newer one, like
Deathmist, and you'll notice that where Spirit is a major component of the 
Dreadmist, it's completely absent from Deathmist, but Stamina and Intellect has
been increased. Newer sets almost never include Spirit.
